Basically, i have been having this intermittent problem. When I go to start the car, sometimes its fine, others, it will just click, but won't even turnover. Usually, a couple of tries and it will turn, but the other day, it just didn't even turnover, i had to pop the clutch to get it started (late for work). Anyway, i think it is the starter, but wasn't sure if anyone could confirm or if they have had a similar prob with a '95 gsr or honda at around 89k. Is this a common failure?

Thanks.

 

Well, with my crx, I had the same problem, but sometimes it smoked under the dash!! Turned out to be a bad ground... Specifically, the one where the negative battery cable attaches to the clutch bracket. Forgot to tighten it when I put my new motor in.

 

Im having the exact same problem...cant seem to figure it out..I checked all ground and they seem find. im gonna try and get my starter rebuilt and see what happens..

 

If your battery and cables are ok, it's probably your starter.

 

I had that problem on my GSR and it was the lead that goes to the starter. Just had to recrimp it. I would check the wiring first since it is free to do. I don't know about Honda starters, but when some starters start to do that you can bang them with a wrech and the problem will be fixed temperarily. If it isn't starting one day, try that and see if it starts.
